2) Network

The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera receives an IP address according to the configuration in the network router. There is also the option of using the Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the Network, please see Setup> System>Security>Network. • Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a particular MAC address. • Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the Network Camera, check the radio button and then make the following settings: - IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your Network Camera. - Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the Network Camera is located on. - Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments. Notes: 1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP server can

update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the Network Camera by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.

2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is set. 3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.

3) Video & Image

• Sensor Setting - Capture Mode:

Choose Capture Mode you wish to use from the drop-down list: * 1600x1200 Max 15fps: Capture resolution is 1600x1200 and Maximum frame is 15. * 1280x720 Max 30fps: Capture resolution is 1280x720 and Maximum frame is 30. * 800x600 Max 30fps: Capture resolution is 800x600 and Maximum frame is 30. Note: Maximum frame rate for each Stream is restricted under the one of the Capture Mode. • Stream1 Setting - Codec: The codec settings are separated into MPEG4 and H.264.

H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital video. This function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.

- Profile: There are 4 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up. Choose the form of video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:

19

* H.264 MP(Main Profile): Primarily for low-cost applications that requires additional error robustness, this profile is used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile applications, it does add additional error resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline Profile. The importance of this profile is fading after the Constrained Baseline Profile has been defined.

* H.264 BP(Base Profile): Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile for broadcast and storage applications, the importance of this profile faded when the High profile was developed for those applications.

* MPEG4 SP(Simple Profile): Mostly aimed for use in situations where low bit rate and low resolution are mandated by other conditions of the applications, like network bandwidth, device size etc.

- Resolution:

It enables users to determine a basic screen size when having an access through the Web Browser or PC program. The screen size control comes in seven modes like 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1280x720, 800x600, 640x480, 352x240, and 320x240. Users can reset the selected screen size anytime while monitoring the screen on a real-time basis.

- Bitrate control:

Limiting the maximum bit rate helps control the bandwidth used by the H.264 or MPEG-4 video stream. Leaving the Maximum bit rate as unlimited maintains consistently good image quality but increases bandwidth usage when there is more activity in the image. Limiting the bit rate to a defined value prevents excessive bandwidth usage, but images are lost when the limit is exceeded.

Note that the maximum bit rate can be used for both variable and constant bit rates.

The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less for lower activity in the monitored area.

CBR allows you to set a fixed target bitrate that consumes a predictable amount of bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually need to increase for increased image activity, but in this case cannot, the frame rate and image quality are affected negatively. To partly compensate for this, it is possible to prioritize either the frame rate or the image quality whenever the bit rate needs to be increased. Not setting a priority means the frame rate and image quality are equally affected.

- Frame rate:

Upon the real-time play, users should select a frame refresh rate per second. If the rate is high, the image will become smooth. On the other hand, if the rate is low, the image will not be natural but it can reduce a network load.

- GOP size:

Select the GOP(Group of Picture) size. If users want to have a high quality of fast image one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring, please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system performance. For the details of GOP setting, please contact the service center.

20

• Stream2 Setting

Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the frame rate and quality helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Limiting the frame rate and quality optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage, the Resolution, Frame rate, and Frame Quality should be set to an optimal value.

- JPEG resolution: Same as the Stream1 Setting. - JPEG frame rate: Same as the Stream1 Setting. - JPEG quality: Select the picture quality. If users want to have a high quality of fast image

one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring, please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system performance.

• Stream3 Setting Same as the Stream1 Setting. Click the checkbox to activate the 3rd stream. When satisfied with the settings, click Save, or click Reset to revert to previously saved settings. 4) Audio(Full-featured model only)

The Network Camera can transmit audio to other clients using an external microphone and can play audio received from other clients by attaching a speaker. The Setup page has an additional menu item called Audio, which allows different audio configurations, such as, full duplex, and simplex.

21

• Audio Setting - Enable audio: Check the box to enable audio in the video stream. - Compression type: Select the desired audio Compression format, G711. - Sample rate:

Select the required Sample rate (number of times per second the sound is sampled). The higher the sample rate, the better the audio quality and the greater the bandwidth required.

- Sound bitrate: Depending on the selected encoding, set the desired audio quality (bitrate). The settings affect the available bandwidth and the required audio quality.

• Audio Input Audio from an external line source can be connected to the terminal I/O of the network camera. - Input volume:

If there are problems with the sound input being too low or high, it is possible to adjust the input gain for the microphone attached to the network camera.

• Audio Output - Enable full duplex:

Check the box to enable Full Duplex mode. It means that you can transmit and receive audio (talk and listen) at the same time, without having to use any of the controls. This is just like having a telephone conversation.

This mode requires that the client PC has a sound card with support for full-duplex audio.

Uncheck the box enable Simplex mode. The simplex mode only transmits audio from the network camera to any web client. It does not receive audio from other web clients.

- Output volume:

If the sound from the speaker is too low or high it is possible to adjust the output gain for the active speaker attached to the network camera.

When satisfied with the settings, click Save, or click Reset to revert to previously saved settings

52

Basic

• IP Address Configuration: - Obtain IP address via DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a particular MAC address. - Use the following IP address: To use a static IP address for the Network Camera, check the radio button and then make the following settings: * IP address: Specify a unique IP address for your Network Camera. * Subnet mask: Specify the mask for the subnet the Network Camera is located on. * Default router: Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments. • IPv6 Address Configuration Check this box to enable IPv6. Other settings for IPv6 are configured in the network router. • DNS Configuration DNS (Domain Name Service) provides the translation of host names to IP addresses on your network. - Obtain DNS Server via DHCP: Automatically use the DNS server settings provided by the DHCP server. - Use the following DNS server address: enter the desired DNS server by specifying the following: * Domain name: enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the Network Camera. Multiple domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, for example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the Domain name. * DNS servers: enter the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers. • Host Name Configuration - Host Name: enter the host name to be used as device information in the client software or

SmartManager. • Services - HTTP port: Enter a port to receive a service through the HTTP. Default Port Number is ‘80’. - HTTPS port: Enter a port to receive a service through the HTTPS. Default Port Number is ‘443’. - RTSP port: Enter a port to receive a service through the RTSP. Default Port Number is ‘554’. • ARP/Ping Setting - Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address - The IP address can be set using the ARP/Ping method, which associates the unit's MAC address with an IP address. Check this box to enable the service. Leave disabled to prevent unintentional resetting of the IP address.

53

DDNS • Internet DDNS(Dynamic Domain Name Service)

When using the high-speed Internet with the telephone or cable network, users can operate the Network Camera even on the floating IP environment in which IPs are changed at every access. Users should receive an account and password by visiting a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.com/, or http://www.cctv-network.co.kr/.

- Enable DDNS: Check to get DDNS service to be available. * DDNS Server: Select the DDNS server. * Registered host: Enter an address of the DDNS server. * Username: Enter an ID to access to the DDNS server. * Password: Enter a password to be used for accessing the DDNS server. * Confirm: Enter a password again to confirm it. * Maximum time interval: Set a time interval to synchronize with the DDNS server. Select an item in the interval drop-down list. * Register local network IP address: Register a Network Video Server IP address to the DDNS server

54

RTP Have a setting for sending and receiving an audio or video on a real-time basis. These settings are the IP address, port number, and Time-To-Live value to use for the media stream(s) in multicast H.264 format. Only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used for multicast streams. For more information, please see the online help. • Port Range - Start port: Enter a value between 1024 and 65532 • Multicast This function is for sending Video and Audio to Multicast group. - Enable Multicast: Check the checkbox to enable multicast operation. - Multicast destination IP: Enter an IP between 224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255. - RTP port: Enter a value between 1024 and 65532. - RTP TTL: Enter a value between 1 and 255. If a network status is smooth, enter a lower value. On the other hand, if a network status is poor, enter a higher value. When there are many Network Cameras or users, a higher value may cause a heavy load to the network. For a detailed setting, please consult with a network manager.

55

UPnP

The Network Camera includes support for UPnP™. UPnP™ is enabled by default, and the Network Camera then is automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol. Note: UPnP™ must be installed on your workstation if running Windows XP. To do this, open the Control Panel from the Start Menu and select Add/Remove Programs. Select Add/Remove Windows Components and open the Networking Services section. Click Details and then select UPnP™ as the service to add.

56

QoS Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, and no packet losses. The main benefits of a QoS-aware network are: - The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser

priority. - Greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control of the amount of bandwidth an application

may use, and thus control over bandwidth races between applications. • DSCP Settings

For each type of network traffic supported by your network video product, enter a DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tell the router or switch which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it. Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex form, but saved values are always shown in decimal.

The following types of traffic are marked: - Live Stream DSCP: - Event/Alarm DSCP: - Management DSCP:

57

• Auto Traffic Control Set a limitation on user network resources by designating the maximum bandwidth. - Maximum bandwidth: In case of sharing other network programs or equipment, it is possible to set a limitation on the maximum bandwidth in the unit of Mbit/s or kbit/s. - Auto frame rate: Selected if not influenced by a network-related program or equipment without a limitation on the network bandwidth. NAT Traversal A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet. Use NAT traversal when your network cameras are located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router is forwarded to the network camera. Notes: - For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the broadband router. - The broadband router has many different names:

“NAT router”, “Network router“, Internet Gateway”, “Broadband sharing device” or “Home firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.

58

• NAT traversal Settings - Enable: when enabled, the network camera attempt to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP™. Note that UPnP™ must be enabled in the Network Camera (see System>Network>UPnP). * automatic setting: The Network Camera automatically search for NAT routers on your network. * manual setting: Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the external port number for the router in the field provided. Notes: - If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, an alert message will be displayed. - When the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this field. To change this enter a new

port number and click Save.

59

Zeroconfig Zeroconfig allows the network camera to create and assign IP address for network cameras and connect to a network automatically. Zero configuration networking (zeroconf), is a set of techniques that automatically creates a usable Internet Protocol (IP) network without manual operator intervention or special configuration servers. Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to a network automatically. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or configure each computer's network settings manually, which may be difficult and time-consuming. Zeroconf is built on three core technologies: • Assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices (link-local address auto

configuration) • Automatic resolution and distribution of computer hostnames (multicast DNS) • Automatic location of network services, such as printing devices through DNS service discovery.

60

Bonjour The network camera includes support for Bonjour. When enabled, the network camera is automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol. Note: Bonjour - Also known as zero-configuration networking, Bonjour enables devices to automatically discover each other on a network, without having to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers. Bonjour is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.

61

Live Push • Live Push Configuration When you activate this function, the network camera as a client can transfer audio, video and event data to the registered server. The network camera and server use RTP/RTSP as the protocol for the actual transport of audio/video data. Up to 3 servers can be configured. - URL: The network address to the server and the script that will handle the request. - User name/Password: Provide your log-in information. The network camera will ask them

whenever you access the Live Push Server.

62

Hole Punching • Hole Punching Configuration - Rendezvous Server URL: Enter the third-party server’s URL that uncovers external and

internal address information. - ID/Password: Enter ID and Password. The network camera will ask them whenever you

access the Rendezvous Server. Note:

Hole punching is a computer networking technique for establishing communications between two parties in separate organizations who are both behind restrictive firewalls. Used for applications such as online gaming, P2P and VoIP, both clients establish a connection with an unrestricted third-party server that uncovers external and internal address information for them. Since each client initiated the request to the server, the server knows their IP addresses and port numbers assigned for that session, which it shares one to the other. Having valid port numbers causes the firewalls to accept the incoming packets from each side.

UDP hole punching is a commonly used technique employed in network address translator (NAT) applications for maintaining User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packet streams that traverse the NAT. NAT traversal techniques are typically required for client-to-client networking applications on the Internet involving hosts connected in private networks, especially in peer-to-peer and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) deployments.

63
